Who are the Wednesday Walkers? We are a group of teachers, administrators, and clerical staff members from Southwestern Middle School in DeLand, Florida, who care about fitness. Every Wednesday afternoon we don our walking shoes after school and speed walk through the streets of our neighborhood, waving to folks who know us as we pass by. It’s good PR for our school, and it’s great for our health and bone strength!
We’ve been posting our mileage on OsteoDiet’s Walk Around the World tracking chart. Just click on “WATW” logo at the top to check us out.
If you work in a school, why not join us on Wednesday afternoons this coming year? You’ll be glad you did! For details on how to participate, write me a “comment” below.
